Although the girls are rooted in Philly, they very much associate themselves with the burbs. The twins never experienced the city outside my belly and Savannah was 2.5 when we moved. Since Alex was at a conference in the city, I decided to take the girls into the city for night. It was strange to be back in the same city I taught for for five years and traveling down the same road I used to take to work every morning.
First, we headed to the Please Touch Museum. It was open late Wednesday night so we were able to enjoy all it had to offer until 7:00 pm. The girls really liked it and were lucky to be joined by neighbors and friends. Daddy met us there which was a good thing because it was one big free for all playground. Below you can see the girls having fun.
After the museum closed, we were off to dinner with our neighbors. We trekked into the city which made me wary. My girls are never good in restaurants and it was already passed their bedtime. Of course they surprised me with fantastic behavior which allowed me to eat my first adult restaurant meal in quite some time. Kids always seem to remind you to not underestimate them.
We headed to the hotel around 9:30 and were bouncing on the beds by 10:00. The girls loved the windows overlooking city hall and got a kick out of the cars beeping below. We colored, played with balls and watched TV until everyone looked as though they were ready to crash. Lights were finally out by 11:00 pm. All but daddy's of course. It still surprises me that the girls will just lay down and sleep while Alex works and I watch TV. Of course the next day we paid for the late night.
All tired out and assuming her position at the hotel. (as if she knows how to work a remote)
